Chapter 222: Role Players and Team Core
However...... How fast is Iverson?
Chamberlain only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and he had lost the trace of Iverson, and Lidno only felt that his hands were empty, and he had just received the basketball in his hand, and he was gone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Smack, smack, smack!"
The rhythm of ball control suddenly accelerated, the center of gravity of Iverson's body suddenly sank, and the ghostly footsteps stepped out like lightning, like a cheetah pounced, without giving anyone a chance to react, snatching the basketball, and completing the breakthrough in an instant.
"Bang dang!"
In the empty supersonic interior, Iverson clasped his hands violently, and the basketball hoop creaked.
In Iverson's first season away, the arena's attendance dropped by 70 percent. Iverson has always played the role of a bad boy in the eyes of people, but for the fans here, he is the only darling.
The Vochovia Arena became a sea of joy, with Iverson's jersey, self-portraits, posters, and banners with greetings written on them filling the stadium in an instant.
The 76ers are a team that focuses on offense and defense, and Iverson's defense is more about gambling steals, but you have to admit that it's really dangerous.
Redno isn't a reassuring point guard, at least not yet. In order to help him share the pressure, in the return attack, Chamberlain did not go down quickly with the team, but escorted him to the front court step by step before turning around and entering the interior line.
As soon as Chamberlain entered the interior line, he was treated with empty hands, with Samuel Dalem Porter and Brian Skiener wrapping him in the middle.
But it wasn't Jim O'Brien's arrangement, it was their own decision. A personal invitation from the arrogant team boss and enthusiastic cheers for their tepid fans made these two interior players, who were doomed to the fate of blue-collar workers and did not have much motivation, have a sense of crisis and deep hatred for Chamberlain.
Perhaps few people know that Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen are a pair of enemies, and that was in the era of the Milwaukee Bucks' "Three Musketeers", after a glamorous season, the two men who were also teachers and friends had a conflict, and even almost got into a fight......
There is such a group of people whose talent is enviable, but they are not cherished, and Glenn Robinson, the "big dog", is such a person.
He was a natural super scorer who could have been a superstar, but he was too lazy and arrogant; The league was reluctant to promote him, the fans didn't like him, and he was far from reaching his potential.
But what about when he's not lazy, when he's reaching his potential, when he's showing enviable talent?
The SuperSonics are in trouble, Chamberlain is trapped, Ray Allen is entangled by Robinson's malicious play, Lewis is not easy, and Aaron McGee is the only one in the 76ers' outside group who doesn't rely on scoring to play the main team.
"Redno, here. ”
From the beginning of entering the inside line, Chamberlain did not stop running, making a quick stop, cutting back, backing one.He used all the means he could, and finally relied on Mourning's blocking, and finally ran out of a position where he could catch the ball.
But it was too late, just when he opened his hand to ask for the ball, he was forced by Iverson to be in a hurry, and Lidno, who was at a loss left and right, still lost the basketball in his hand.
Pure speed!
Iverson snatched the basketball, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the supersonic basket, jumped high, and pressed down with both hands.
With a "bang", the basketball was put into the basket again in the same way.
Counterattack!
Chamberlain was always around Ridno until the 76ers' three-point line before Chamberlain plunged headlong into the free throw area.
"Give me the ball, Ridno. ”
Not daring to wait, Chamberlain turned his back to the basket and hurriedly asked Ridno for the ball before Skiner got close.
Iverson famously said, "When I miss the first 20 goals, I believe the first one will score!"
It's a reflection of Iverson's character, but there's an important premise for this phrase to be famous, and that's that he's the absolute core of the 76ers, if he's a role player?
The same basketball player, the role player and the core of the team, play two completely different basketballs.
For example, if Ridnow was stealed twice by Iverson, if he was the core of the team, neither the fans, his teammates, nor the coaches, nor himself would have allowed him to pass the basketball on the next offense.
But he is not, under the premise that Chamberlain wants the ball, if he insists on playing alone, regardless of the outcome success or failure, what awaits him is only the bench, and there is no other way.
And Ridnow doesn't have that kind of fighting spirit, he just wants to get himself out of the pit of worrying about falling into the guts, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, so Chamberlain's request for the ball is right in his arms.
The next second Chamberlain opened his hand to ask for the ball, he hurriedly threw the basketball into Chamberlain's hand like a hot potato.
Chamberlain took the ball with his back, his shoulder shook slightly, and after pulling twice in a row, he took a step back with his right foot, half-turned and pressed Skinner with his left shoulder, and his whole body suddenly leaned to the right.
Attentive, Skiner took a step back to the right without thinking, hoping to earn cushion time for the defence, and extended his right arm to the right.
Adam Porter, who was on the other side, also hurriedly stopped and joined forces with Skinner to form a semi-encirclement state, locking all the space for Chamberlain to the inside line.
At the moment when the center of gravity of these two people moved, Chamberlain chose a clever time node, the right foot that stepped out suddenly recovered, the thick calf suddenly tightened, and the accumulated strength of the whole body burst out, and an incredible forward rush happened to be after Ray Allen ran over, stepped out of the three-point line, and the body turned lightly for half a circle, stuck Robinson behind him while raising his hands flat, and handed over the basketball to Ray Allen, who was close at hand.
Across a person, Robinson is a mad wolf, and he can only stare at it. A dry field plucking onions, Ray Allen's wrist flicked, and the basketball plunged into the basket with a slight spin.
"Beautiful!"
McMillan, who was nervously following the situation on the court, sighed in his heart when he saw the clever cooperation between Chamberlain and Ray Allen, and waved his fist excitedly.
But it wasn't just McMillan who was excited, but also the fans at the scene.
It's an almost nanny-style assist that draws the attention of the defense, helps to block the spot, and creates a big open space.
Fans began to look forward to the years to come, Chamberlain to help get stuck in position, Iverson's easy jump shot, not to be like now, with the Philadelphia Light full of injuries they believed, but also to tirelessly impact the inside.
Iverson has been lonely for so long that even the fans are beginning to feel distressed.
"Well done, baby. ”
To the cheers of the away fans, Ray Allen jumped up and bumped Chamberlain on the shoulder. Chamberlain also gave Ray Allen a thumbs up when he was quickly dropping back.
After dribbling the ball past half court, Iverson glanced at Reedno on the opposite side, his body and head shook to the left, and he dribbled down with his left hand and slapped the ball down hard for two consecutive fast-paced dribbles to change the dribble route and fly away from the left.
Since Iverson's arrival, Ridno has been constantly adjusting his defensive posture, watching the basketball begin to move to the left, and his center of gravity has quickly shifted to the left.
But at this moment, Iverson bent his right ankle, quickly changed the center of gravity of his body and changed hands under his crotch to dribble, jumping the ball from his left hand to his right hand.
Chamberlain suddenly pulled out half a step to defend, Mourning also came from the left side to help defend, Iverson was not afraid, the moment his right foot landed, his body was illusory left and right. The rapid shaking that could not be judged made Chamberlain and Mourning hesitate for a moment.
At this moment, Iverson twisted his waist slightly, turned to the right side and a half, and the cat waist drilled into the three-second zone from Chamberlain's right side, and made a stop-and-go jump shot, using the power of his fingers to dial the basketball into the basket.
